    If \[\vec{a}\] and \[\vec{b}\] are unit vectors and a is the angle between them, then \[\vec{a}\,\,.\,\,\vec{b}\] will be a unit  vector, if a is equal to

    A)  \[\frac{\pi }{4}\]           

    B)  \[\frac{\pi }{3}\]

    C)  \[\frac{2\pi }{3}\]

    D)  \[\frac{\pi }{2}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\vec{a}-\vec{b}\] is unit vector, if \[|\vec{a}-\vec{b}|=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[|\vec{a}-\vec{b}{{|}^{2}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[|\vec{a}{{|}^{2}}-2\,\vec{a}.\vec{b}+|\vec{b}{{|}^{2}}=1\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[1-2|\vec{a}|\,\vec{b}|\,\cos \theta +1=1\Rightarrow 1=2\cos \theta \] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\cos \,\,\theta =\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow \theta =\frac{\pi }{3}\]
